Students

Bringing professional ornithologists and students together is what the AOU Student Affairs Committee does best. Actually, that’s what we’re here to do. The AOU provides many resources to help students, such as money to travel to conferences, opportunities to get involved, or a chance to chat with your favorite ornithologist at a meeting. Let the AOU help meet your needs as a student, because with the AOU it’s good to be a student…
